Hello, I recently beat capitalism, by using capitalism simply through networking and failing. Capitalism is built on providing solutions to wants or needs for money.
I have some very successful capitalist friends and family. I was working for one as a line cook for 14 an hour and was miserable, there weren’t enough hours in the day to make enough to cover bills, nor do I have the energy for consecutive overtime weeks. Eventually I gave up. Told them I was quitting and would not return to any job for less than 20 an hour. Had to suffer for a year n some change, sleeping on couches, constantly explaining and proving the downsides physically & mentally of working for that little, constantly explaining I do want to work, stretches of homelessness friends and family connections severed, the whole 9. I continued not working and putting all my effort into networking and explaining to people the reality of working hourly jobs to people who never did. Eventually I ended up even worse mentally. I was 302’d and sent to a mental health facility. Where I told them I will be staying indefinitely without insurance, and not taking meds. They couldn’t work harder to get me out of there. Spent my time there learning about social programs, mindfulness, and resting. Eventually since I had built enough of a network people started wanting me out of there. I wasn’t leaving without a job of 20 an hour. And bingo! There it was the want. Finally a capitalist had a want they were willing to pay for. They wanted me out, and they had to pay.
So I got a job offer accepted, started taking the meds (they wouldn’t release me if I didn’t) and was out after 2.5 weeks with a decent job.
Basically I held myself comfortably captive. I know I got lucky, and am not in the same realm of ducked as everyone else because I know people but that’s it. That’s how I did it.
And when this year ends i am demanding a 5% raise on top of the recorded inflation rate or repeating this process.
Create a want or need.
Fill that want or need for pay.
Don’t back down.
It takes a lot of sacrifice but was worth it.
Here’s 2 things capitalist want:
Things to be on time.
To feel clean and for things to be clean.
So to any large group of underpaid people
I’m not saying you should but u can Capitalize on this by causing supply chain issues for under paying business. Could be as simple as putting a bike lock on a truck door to do this. Probably not legal but wear gloves and mask, pay cash, and it’s tough to prove. Might only slow them down an hour but to them time is money. (To us time is life IMO)
Capitalize on this by making things dirty, mud is free and I think you can legally walk almost anywhere with mud on your shoes.
If enough people keep making places muddy; and know why they are being made muddy, it works.
Hope this helps; probably doesn’t.
